Anyone know when the concept of a Y.A. book first popped up?

My local library had a children's section, but no books specifically targeted at teens.

The "classics" taught in my middle and high school—Hamilton's Mythology; White's Once & Future King; Dickens's Great Expectations; Kaufman's You Can't Take it With You; Wilder's Our Town—were written for adult audiences.
